Ingredients

Units Scale

Cheesecake Cookie Dough:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Additions:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Chill the dough: Chill the dough for 20–30 minutes for best results.
  4. Bake the cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers are just set. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra cheesecake flavor, press a few more chocolate chips on top of the dough before baking or add a touch of lemon zest to the dough.
  • Cookies will stay soft and chewy for several days stored in an airtight container.
